1980 Firebird 73 Front End Shaker Hood on 2040-cars
Shepherdsville, Kentucky, United States
|
first off I took this car on trade and I'm going to be harsh with my description I'm going to try to point out every flaw I can find, so please look at the pictures closely ask questions I would much rather discourage you from buying than get it home and be disappointed my option of the car is its a great car, Has lots of curb appeal, Runs good, sounds mean, and what little I have drove it was a pleasure to drive, had no unusual squeaks or rattle this slick firebird started life as a 1980 turbo firebird, has power windows, power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes positrac rear. It presently has a 400 Pontiac motor, aluminum intake, full length headers, dual exhaust (be aware that all of the emissions controls have been removed) the ac condenser lines have been cut, has a 350 turbo trans, interior.... the rear seats have new PUI covers, front seats are aftermarket (hug you pretty good) dash and door panels appear to be original and in super good shape. the car appears to have no rust, I have not inspected behind spoiler or ground effects the front end was replaced with a 71-73 has shaker hood.... because of the aluminum intake being taller this causes the hood to be raised slightly on the back near windshield the front spoiler is a mix match of the old and newer firebird if you look close you can tell it doesn't follow the bottom of the front bumper perfectly the paint appears to be a Candy blue color and in spots it wasn't applied perfectly so there are different shades the driver door looks like it has new hinges and the door still needs some adjusting. if you look close at the bottom edge of the door it looks like when you ever replaced the hinges that they had it on some sort of supporting devise and the bottom edge has a very slight bend you will need to get down on the floor to see.... the driver door glass doesn't roll up correctly I think some adjusting on it and it will be good as new has 15x8 aluminum wheels the rear tires are 272 60 15 drag radials and the front are 275 60 15 tires but will need to be replaced as they are old I have 2 sets of T-tops that go with the car one set is Chrome color and the other set is smoked I have only one set of T-top bags If you have any question please ask.... I have this car listed else where and reserve the right to sell until the reserve is met when the reserve is met It will no longer be for sale locally On Sep-17-14 at 20:53:04 PDT, seller added the following information: just some clarification referring to "old" tires.... the rear tires are like new...just the front tires are the ones that will need to be replaced in the near future referring to the oil leak..... I started the motor this morning let it run 30-40 minutes let it sit till this evening and it left an oily spot the diameter of the bottom of a soda can right under the flywheel dust cover could be as simple as a oil sending unit or as bad as a rear main seal I'm not sure this size oil leak could be considered unreasonable for a 69 model motor, but I would much rather you know now..... I have been places that I was asked to put a piece of card board under my truck "just incase" referring to a trade.... I do trade as this is how I ended up with this beauty Thanks for asking |

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
